When Life Cuts Off Your Electricity......

Nothing like getting home from work....knowing what you are actually having for dinner this time....getting it started. Chicken in the oven, reheating from the other night. Water on the stove top for noodles for shells and cheese. Have salad stuff out. Sliced peaches for fruit. All planned.....then....

ZAP!!!!!

There goes the power. I did pay the bill. Not me. It's the severe gusts of wind going through the area has downed the power. Not much I can do about it.

I walk out onto the balcony and it's not weird.....it's a DOUBLERAINBOW!!!!!

So, after ooohhhhing and aaahhhhing we came back inside. Luckily the chicken had warmed enough, the candles were bright enough we could have the chicken and peaches.

One of the advantages of living where we do is when the power goes it cuts power to a major intersection and a small strip mall which is very busy. Power back on in about an hour. But the memory of the rainbows last longer.

About Me

Retiring after 34 years in the airline industry, I found myself in Montana with my youngest daughter and a new grand daughter. Then came the oldest daughter and her partner, buying us a house for us all to live in. Then came the house fire and now we are rearranging our lives and planning a move back to North Carolina in 2018. So it will be 5 years of Zone 4 gardening before I get back to my Zone 7 comfort zone.
